64 == General Notes ==
65
66 When upgrading make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg##, ##xwiki.properties## and ##web.xml## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or added. Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything.

Marius Dumitru Florea 1.1 69
Marius Dumitru Florea 6.1 70 * The [[Attachment Index>>extensions:Extension.Index Application||anchor="HAllAttachments"]] doesn't obey the ##$blacklistedSpaces## Velocity variable any more. It uses the hidden page query filter instead, so it follows the "Show hidden pages" settings from the user profile.
